I have collected many obituaries of genealogical interest over the past twenty years.I will be posting them on this blog as time allows. The majority of these obituaries are from early Arkansas Baptist newspapers and have been transcribed as written.

Mrs. Sallie King

Died at her home in Pine Bluff, Ark., January 7th, 1896; aged 40 years. Sister King had been a member of the Baptist church for over 20 years. a member of the Ladies' Aid Society, always faithful and true amid all the vicissitudes of life. In many respects her life was a sad one. Just one year ago she was called upon to give up a loving Mother. But she remained her cheerfulness and trust under all circumstances. faithful in attendance at services, her friends were many and enemies none, her life is truly worthy of imitation. to her three children, two sisters, and other relatives we extend loving sympathy. While we, her sisters in Christ, will miss her cheerful face and pleasant greetings, we can but rejoice that she has entered into her rest and henceforth will be forever free from care in that home where " there is more death, neither sorrow nor crying, not shall shall there be any more pain."
